The SNC-P1 is a network camera equipped with a builtin Web server. The camera has the following features:

Monitoring using the Web browser

Real-time monitoring of the image and sound from the camera is possible using the Web browser on the computer.

MPEG4 video compression

MPEG4 video compression allows a smooth streaming of motion pictures with 30 fps (QVGA size). Motion JPEG video streaming is also possible by selecting the JPEG video compression format.

Offering video streaming in VGA size

The 1/4 type CCD supporting VGA offers high-quality video streaming in VGA size. (The frame rate in VGA size is less than 30 fps.)

Built-in microphone

A microphone (monaural) is built in the camera. Also, the built-in microphone jack (minijack, monaural) accepts a commercially available plug-in-power microphone (rated voltage: 2.0V DC).

External speaker system can be connected

The line output jack (minijack, monaural) allows connection of a commercially available speaker system with the built-in amplifier so that the sound transmitted via the network can be output from the connected speaker system.

Sending the image and controlling peripheral devices by synchronizing with the alarm

The camera is equipped with the motion detection function (in MPEG4 mode), a sensor input terminal and an alarm output terminal. You can send images from the camera as an E-mail attachment or to an FTP server by synchronizing with motion detection or external sensor input, or control peripheral devices connected to the alarm output terminal.

Using the SNMP

This unit supports SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). You can read MIB-2 objects and write some MIB-2 objects using software such as SNMP manager software. This unit also supports the coldStart trap which occurs when the power is turned on or the unit restarts, and the Authentication failure trap which informs of an illegal access using SNMP. Using CGI commands, you can set community name and access limitation, reading/writing right, host to send traps, and some MIB-2 objects. To allow these settings, you need authentication by the camera administrator.

4 describes the case of “mib-2.system. sysContact.0”.

This field is used to describe the information on administrator of this camera. Nothing is set at the factory.

5 describes the case of “mib-2.system. sysName.0”.

This field is used to describe administration node of this camera. Nothing is set at the factory.

6 describes the case of “mib-2.snmpEnable

AuthenTraps.0”. This example shows when “1” (enable) is set. With this setting, a trap occurs when there is an Authentication failure. When “2” (disable) is set, no Authentication failure trap occurs.

1. Inquiry Commands

You can check the SNMP Agent settings using the following CGI commands.

GET, POST

“http://ip_adr/snmpdconf/inquiry.cgi?inqjs=snmp (JavaScript parameter format) http://ip_adr/snmpdconf/inquiry.cgi?inq=snmp (standard format)

With the above inquiry, you can obtain the following setting information. The following explains the setting information using the inqjs=snmp (JavaScript parameter) format.

var sysDescr=“SONY Network Camera SNC-P1” ...1 var sysObjectID=“1.3.6.1.4.1.122.8501” ...2 var sysLocation=“” ...3 var sysContact=“” ...4 var sysName=“” ...5 var snmpEnableAuthenTraps=“1” ...6 var community=“public,0.0.0.0,read,1” ...7 var community=“private,192.168.0.101,write,2” ...8 var trap=“public,192.168.0.101.1” ...9

1 describes the case of “mib-2.system. sysDescr.0”.

You cannot change this parameter.

2 describes the case of “mib-2.system.

sysObjectID.0”. You cannot change this parameter.

3 describes the case of “mib-2.system.

sysLocation.0”. This field is used to describe information on the location of this camera. Nothing is set at the factory.

7 describes the community name and the reading/

writing attributes. This example shows the identification number “ID=1”, the community name public, and enables read from any IP address (0.0.0.0).

8 describes the community name and the reading/

writing attributes, similarly to 7. This example shows the identification number ID=2, the community name “private”, and enables “read/ write” by the SNMP request packet from the host “192.168.0.101”.

9 describes the host name to send a trap. This

example shows the identification number “ID=1”, the community name “public”, and enables sending of traps to the host having the IP address “192.168.0.101”.

2. Setting Commands

The unit supports the following setting commands of SNMP.

GET, POST

Example: To allow reading/writing by any host in the

“private” community and having the ID number “2”. community=2,w,private,0.0.0.0

http://ip_adr/snmpdconf/snmpdconf.cgi? snmpd=restart

Others

6) trap=<ID>,<communityName>, <IpAddressString> Set the host you want to send traps to. <ID> describes the setting identification number (1 to 8), <communityName> describes the community name to send traps to, and <IpAddressString> describes the IP address of the host to send traps to.

Example: To specify the destination of traps as the

private community and the ID number “1”. rap=1,public,192.168.0.101
